Can I borrow your glasses for a while
"When you consider that all the Linux distros are working to
make Linux a generic OS without differentiation"

So you read the LSB 2.0 document to mean "generic linux
distributions". More likely you didn't read (or understand) it
at all.

"maybe alowing a CHOICE to the consumer to select Solaris
is a good idea"

Open source is all about choice, and we welcome another
open source alternative in Solaris. We already have the
other BSD family (Solaris' heritage - but then No_Ax
wouldn't know that either).

"As the article points out, much of what will be included in
the distro will remain proprietary (translated, able to earn
dollars) and yet it allows the open source community a
chance to contribute to something other than linux."

Actually it doesn't at all. What it says is where the IP is not
owned by Sun, they will not provide source code but a
binary. The example given was drivers, funny I don't know
of the great cash empire in drivers.

"Hmm, toss in a new file system owned by Sun and MS
(royalties) that excludes Linux and you may just have a real
winner..."

Funny I read discussion were taking place between Sun and
MS, you read joint file-system owned by them. Again
nowhere did we read Linux being excluded.

To summarise - No_Ax wrong on every point - again
